Pine Ridge Inn

The location is just at the south end of town, which was great because it was quiet. We could walk up the west side part of town (Century to 14th), or take a beautiful walk along the east side of the river trail, into Old Mill and then downtown Bend. The property is simple but comfy. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the complimentary breakfast and coffee were more than enough to start the day (don’t pass up the yogurt with homemade berry compote!) We checked in to a clean room, fireplace on and warmed up, and chill jazz station on the TV. I’ve never had a room prepped like that, it was so appreciated after a long drive. We stayed in 219. Great river view with patio , living room separate from bedroom, spa tub, two sinks, and separate toilet room.

Because of the roundabouts, it’s a little more difficult to find but double back and it’s easy access. The location is excellent. Feels like a little boutique hotel. The room we had, river view suite, was exceptional, especially for what we paid ($136). Bed and linens were luxurious and the step down living area welcoming and cozy with fireplace, wine, and wall of glass. The bath tub was deep and long. I’ve never been able to relax and stretch out in a hotel bathtub before! Breakfast a little sparse but very nice and adequate for Continental.

The view was great on the river side and having a place to hang out there with table and chairs on the balcony was nice. The furniture and size of suite allowed us to host visitors to hang out between activities. The master bed was amazingly comfortable, both the mattress and the bedding. The breakfast available every morning was also a bonus with local bakery items from Sparrow. Having a large bottle to keep water chilled in the refrigerator was very helpful keeping hydroflasks filled with ice cold water. The location was also perfect for our needs and close to everything we wanted to do.

It feels like a smaller boutique hotel and is in a quiet part of town right on the river but just a longer walk or short drive from everything (downtown, Old Mill, river). Down the streets from Deschutes Brewery and a 10 minute walk to the river and a park for kids. Nice big rooms with plenty of space for storage. The breakfast was continental but better than the average with ham and cheese baguettes and yogurt and compote, pastries, oatmeal, juices, fruit and bread...okay coffee. If you want a big breakfast the Original Pancake restaurant is directly across the street.

We loved our room so much. The outdoor patio overlooks the Deschutes river and indoor fireplace was so cozy. We were traveling for the first time with our 6 month old and the room was ready with a pack and play, soft music playing, and fire going when we walked in. After a long day of traveling it was the sweetest welcome to our room. The Continental breakfast was amazing and I loved the nice trays they provide to take your breakfast to your room. Also I loved that the breakfast room isn't locked up at night. One evening we brought some take out to the room for dinner and needed some plates and utensils so I was able to just jump down the hall for some. Staff was so friendly and welcoming.
